We take you back to a simpler time where the oxen are seen working in the fields and the sound of a rooster can be heard around the farm! Experience farming as it was all across Nova Scotia by spending a day here that the whole family will enjoy! For the few hours you spend at Ross Farm you don’t just experience Nova Scotia’s farming history, you live it!

In Oct 2019 we visited Ross Farm Museum, particularly due to its connection with the History Channel's "The Curse of Oak Island" and the numerous visits made to the farm to date objects found on Oak Island. Unfortunately the "go to" person at the Blacksmith Shop was on a lunch break when we arrived. However we spent a lot of time chatting with the barrel maker; very interesting. The entire property - being a living history museum - is very impressive. We took the wagon ride, visited the different buildings, viewed the exhibits when we first entered and overall had an enjoyable few hours. Being autumn, the gardens and fields were dormant but we expected that. It's a definite must-see when you're in the area!!

This farm is definitely worth a visit. It's a colourful, fun and interesting farm to wander around, checking out the huge variety of pumpkins, big, small and giant! We'd just been at the great annual Windsor Pumpkin regatta so to see where the giant pumpkins are grown and talk to the staff was just great. A walk through the farm and we arrived at the "famous" Long Pond - the beautiful forested area where hockey was "born" in Canada. Who would have thought pumpkins and hockey would go together - but they do here. Fascinating place.

Always love having the chance to stop by and pick up some of my favorite cheeses. They also make many other great products. Their cheese curds are always one of my favorites. They also make many tasty gelato ice cream flavors.
